Hello,
just registered today. I am a honda civic r reg owner looking to change and the fabia estate seems to fit the bill. If anyone would like to let me know how they think the fabia compares and what are the little niggles if any that comes with the fabia estate I would be very gratefull.

Hello and welcome.

The estate will probably suffer from the same minor niggles as most Fabia's do.

A trawl around on here will certainly give you a good diea of what to expect.

It would also depend on what age of car you were looking to buy.

to VRStu,
Thank you for the welcome.
I was going to by new. I have only had a brief look on the forum but it seems the octavia is the most popular. In the showroom that seemed a bit big for my needs. But perhaps I should reconsider

No the Fabia is very popular here too. There is about to be a model change and it is no longer possible to order (Although some stock may still be around) a new Fabia in the current shape.

My dad has an estate, and oddly doesn't live a million miles from you.

The octavia is a big car but if you are talking what we call Octavia II, the newer shape, then there are quite a few advances in both quaility and design. It shares the same platform as the current Golf and Leon to name a couple.

Oh that means I probably wont get the cappucino colour now.
Are they any plans to have an estate version of the new Fabia?

Id say get the fabia, but Im biased

My dad has an Octy estate and there isnt as much room as his old mondeo estate but its a much much nicer car.
